“When we say #DefundPolice,” Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib tweeted days ago, “what we mean is people are dying and we need to invest in people’s livelihoods instead. Example: Detroit spent $294 million on police last year, and $9 million on health. This is systemic oppression in numbers.” http://peaceworker.org/2020/06/corporate-media-are-focusing-on-race-and-dodging-class/#sthash.NN91cJh6.dpbs?utm_source=June+22%2C+2020+PeaceWorker+Articles&utm_campaign=This+Week%27s+PeaceWorker+Articles&utm_medium=email

Guest Opinion: KKK fliers are anything but harmless by Alma Rosa Alvarez
Peace House stands in solidarity with the Medford City Council value of diversity and against hate. We support the Rogue Action Center in calling for the Medford City Council meeting in which the recent fliers distributed there by the KKK were addresses.
These fliers wee openly recruiting membership in a pitch for divisiveness and racial bias. Such activity will only serve to cultivate a separate and racist culture, endangering people of color in our local communities at a time when we could be growing into a more open, collaborative and inclusive society. The current recruitment by the KKK is likely to increase incidents of racial bias, hate
speech and harassment that is experienced by local residents who are people of color. While the recruitment literature is not illegal per se, we appreciate the steps that the Medford Police Department and City Council took to address the concerns of citizens who are speaking out to encourage unity and diversity in the face of racism and dis-unity.
